Eagle Flag of Epirus - Vol 8 Chapter 104.28
“How dare a Latino dare to do this!”
Looking at the invincible Latins on the battlefield, Kehoslu I was furious and ordered the Hashan guards under his command to attack. Laskaris on the side couldn’t help but dissuade him: “His Royal Highness Sultan, this is just a partial division of the Latins. You only need to leave an army to watch them. It really shouldn’t continue to waste your army in vain.”
Theodor has already seen that his morale has been frustrated. If he forces an offensive to win, he will suffer a lot of casualties. If he fails, the soldiers will be deprived of fighting spirit. In that case, the Latin main force who wants to pursue the evacuation is undoubtedly foolish.
But how can his words be heard now——
“Huh, if you don’t break them into pieces, it’s hard to understand the hatred in my heart!” The sultan waved his whip in his hand and didn’t mean to stop. In Kehuslu’s eyes, the soldiers who fleeed were nothing but a group of cannon fodder militias. As long as they completed a breakthrough on the Latin defense line, his elite Hassan and Gulam could instantly tear each other to pieces. In previous battles against the Roman Empire, the Turkic Sultan did this, so Kehoslu naively thought that he could defeat the small group of Latins in front of him, but obviously he did not realize that he was falling step by step. Get into the trap that the other party has prepared for you.
The little Clavou returned to the formation with his cavalry. As he was wearing the helmet of the dead Marquis of Plessis on his head, the Breton knights behind him also put on the flag of the Marquis and focused on None of the Latin soldiers who were fighting had noticed the strangeness.
A steady stream of Turkic people came to kill here, and everyone knew that if this continued, it was only a matter of time before the brown valley fell.
Little Clay Wu made a decisive decision and ordered: “Everyone resists one by one, fights in turn, retreats into the valley, and abandons all banners and armour staff, no mistake!”
retreat back to the valley, isn’t that self-defeating?
The soldiers doubted the order of the Marquis, but after seeing the other party leading the knight to break it personally, they could only obey the order half-belief. The infantry mounted a shield, the archer threw a shot behind them, and the Latin sergeants retreated to the narrow valley behind them in an orderly manner.
Looking at this scene, the Turkic soldiers who thought that the Latins had lost their fighting spirit were overjoyed. They were willing to let this opportunity pass. The Sultan has issued a great reward. Even if they hold a Latin, they can get rewards of gold and silver. The fief, so a group of people chased into the valley desperately, and at this moment, the outside of the brown valley suddenly became crowded.
However, King Kehoslu I still did not realize the hidden danger. He really thought that the Latin defense line outside the Brown Valley had been defeated. The proud sultan immediately ordered the other Hashan guards around him to join the battle. Give your enemy the final blow.
Recommended, really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
Theodor Lascaris watched the mighty army heading to the valley, but he was faintly uneasy, but he didn’t have any convincing words to make the sultan on the side take his life back.
Kehoslu was completely immersed in the joy of victory, and said to the Roman nobles around him: “When the Frankish thieves here are extinguished, we can move on and meet with your father-in-law Alex III. At that time, their retreat will be cut off, and Nicaea will be restored.”
“Such words depend on His Majesty the Sultan.” Lascaris had to say humbly. Choosing to abdicate is a choice that has to be made. Even if the Latins can now be hit hard to regain Nicaea, it is to make wedding dresses for others. But now he has no time to care about these. He still has doubts about the current changes. You must know that the so-called support from Trabizon is just empty talk, and now there is no shadow at all. Could there really be a conflict between David and Alexei and Komunen? All the doubts, Theodor can only be buried in his heart, and now he can only wait and move.
Just as Kehoslu concentrated on directing his soldiers to attack the only remaining Latin soldiers in the valley, in his eyes, it was only a matter of time before the stubborn Franks were eliminated.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves in the distance interrupted his thoughts, and the scout hitting the arrow fell from the saddle and hurriedly reported a terrible news to the Sudan.
“The Franks, Your Majesty Sultan, a large number of Franks are coming towards us.”
“What?!” Kehoslu was startled and couldn’t believe his ears. He followed the direction the scout pointed and looked over.
I saw, I don’t know when, a large number of people marching in the three directions where my army is located, the flying dust raised up, there is no doubt that their goal is here, because of the ups and downs of the mountains, I didn’t even notice it before. The Latin light cavalry at the forefront has approached. These people are not Franks but nomads hired by Emperor Henry. It is these cavalry who quietly harvested the scouts that Sultan Kehosru had planted in the surrounding area.
The shouting and killing sound shook the world, and the horseshoe made the entire valley shudder and tremble. Looking into the distance, the sultan with an inexplicable expression on his face was finally able to see the flag swaying in the opposing army. It was the battle flag of Emperor Henry!
……
The first to kill was a Latin heavy cavalry. While advancing step by step to keep it concealed, the knights in full armor followed their emperor on foot to reach the predetermined position.
was about to launch a charge, the Latin knights from Constantinople were waiting for their Majesty to give them the final pre-war speech.
Flandre Henry, who has been in his mid-years of age, went into battle in person. Obviously he paid special attention to this military operation. He put on his chain mail and was covered with golden and red dreamy armor. Before putting down the helmet mask, he treated himself The vassals said:
“Grasp your weapons and summon your courage. God and I are with you. After our spears pass through the battlefield, God and Romania’s enemies will be completely plowed out, and our empire will last forever.” In front of Emperor Henry, there were both the Crusaders vassals left over from the Fourth Crusade, and the Greek dignitaries who agreed to cooperate in Constantinople. At his request, both sides must loyal to him. After this battle, all the remnants of the remnants of the enemy will be wiped out-Henry will not give him another chance to make a comeback as he did two years ago.
“All troops march forward!” The sword in the emperor’s hand struck the long spears held by all the knights in front of him, and the guards holding the purple flag behind him followed closely behind them with the Catholic cross painted on them. The emperor roared: “Crush our enemy, Romania Long live!”
“Long live Romania!”
With a shout, the knights, whether they are Latin or Greek, responded to their emperor one after another. The sound was thunderous. With a loud prayer, hundreds of knights and the attendants and riders behind them were unprepared. The Roma Sultan and the Greek coalition launched an attack.
